The 1st Workshop on the Distributed Smart City (WDSC'2018)
According to the United Nations, 54.5% of the world population is living in cities today, a number
that will reach 60% by the year 2030. To provide services and resources to this new wave of
inhabitants, cities will have to be more efficient. Technology will be key to improve city
efficiency, and research on Smart Cities is investigating how Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) can help citizens and governments to improve quality of life in the cities,
particularly those in developing countries that will experiment higher growth rate on the next
decades.
Smart City technology have a direct impact on the lives of millions. Recently, a bug on the
widely used traffic routing application Waze drew the city of São Paulo to a halt, as thousands of
drivers were led by the app to use the same route. Smart City systems and platforms must be
deployed in large scale, include devices from different architectures that use distinct
communication protocols, process large amounts of data, must be reliable and bug-free. As
such, distributed approaches to Smart City applications are preferable, even though there is a
trend of creating centralized architectures which can be dangerous to cities on long term.
This workshop aims at gathering distributed systems researchers that are working on distributed
approaches for Smart City platforms and applications.
Areas of interest include:
- * Cloud and fog computing
- * Software engineering techniques
- * Case studies on distributed smart city applications
- * IoT and sensors for cities
- * Data analysis and big data algorithms
- * Large scale data processing
- * Vehicular and peer-to-peer networks
- * Crowdsourcing and collaborative platforms and applications
- * Smart grids
- * Smart city theory, modeling, and simulation
- * Intelligent infrastructure
- * Reliability and security for Smart City applications
- * Privacy on the Smart City
- * Green Computing in city applications and systems
